Pathfinders

A Community Archaeology Project

 Pathfinder is a community archaeology project, which commemorates and celebrates important  British Caribbean history.

The Pathfinder Project is an opportunity to uncover and share important stories, which deepen the public conversation about the past, present and future of modern multicultural Britain.

This community archaeology project tells the stories of the communities, places, and events related to early and mid-20th century British Caribbean experience. 

Pathfinder: A Hero's Welcome

Pathfinders - A Hero’s Welcome is a Windrush generation story.

The story, based on real events, is peppered with verbatim testimony from archival material associated with Afro-Caribbean British heritage. The story uncovers hidden layers of London’s cultural, historical, and geographical landscape. A Hero’s Welcome tells the story of a Jamaican-born RAF war hero’s post-WWII adventures.  Answering the call for British Commonwealth citizens to help with Britain’s post-war regeneration, Barnsley Peterson boards the Empire Windrush for a new life in England.  However, the hero’s welcome he expects is harder to come by than he anticipates.
